Community
People come here for the homes, but stay for everything around them. Here are a few local places and rhythms that make Bellport, Brookhaven, and the South Shore feel so easy to love.

"Last Licks" Labor Day Shop
“Last Licks” Day in Bellport is a designated late‑summer shopping day promoted by the Bellport Chamber of Commerce, framed around Labor Day as a final chance for seasonal “last licks” of local shops and treats before the end of summer. The chamber calendar lists it as “Last Licks Labor Day Shop Saturday,” highlighting village retailers and encouraging residents and visitors to come out for end‑of‑season shopping and specials.
The phrase “last licks” itself comes from baseball/softball, referring to the home team batting last and getting a final chance, which is why it’s used here to evoke a playful “last chance” to enjoy summer and support local businesses before the season shifts.
